There are few real accidents in history and the version we see in the history books, may have happened entirely differently in reality. A prime example being the murder of Rasputin nearly 100 years ago

Using legal injunctions, Dov Zakheim’s lawyers forced this website to remove an article we posted with the same title; which tells us he may have something to hide. Seems like others also think so as this video indicates. Watch it while you still can

Gen. Leonid Ivashov was Chief of Staff of Russian armed forces when the 9/11 attacks took place, but he says, they weren’t carried out by Osama or al-Qaeeda. The most likely culprits, says the General, were transnational mafias and international oligarchs

The Talmud expounds some of the most virulent racism, as these extracts plainly show. However, as a reader points out not all Jews are influenced by it, or even read it. Only the ultra religious study it, the rest haven’t a clue. We leave you to decide

News Brief — June 14, 2014

While Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has denied reports in the Western media that Iran has deployed troops in Iraq he has signalled his readiness to cooperate with other nations in halting the advance of Sunni extremists in Iraq.

They are thought to be overseeing and advising efforts to strengthen the defences of the capital and the northern holy city of Samarra, and helping to organise and co-ordinate Iraqi Shia militia groups which are loyal to Iran.

They are also being viewed as a potential advance guard who could oversee the possible influx of a much larger deployment, should Tehran decide.

For the time being however, Iraq’s Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki has ordered the country’s forces to make a stand against advancing Sunni militants at the city of Samarra, 78 miles north of Baghdad. The choice of Samarra, a historic city that is home to an 8th mosque, highlights the sectarian nature of the conflict that has divided Muslims in Iraq and neighbouring Syria.

As the West examines its options for action in Iraq, U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel ordered the aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush into the Persian Gulf ready for air strikes should Obama so decide.

Meanwhile, the unfolding conflict in Iraq has re-ignited controversy over Bush and Blair’s original decision to invade Iraq and overthrow Saddam Hussein.

Home Office minister Norman Baker, a Liberal Democrat who is a longstanding opponent of the Iraq War, told the Mail on Sunday:

‘The reality is that the intervention by Tony Blair and George Bush has destabilised this country and left it open to extremism, and we are seeing that now. Iraq today is Tony Blair’s legacy.’

Meanwhile Conservative MP John Baron, who resigned from his party’s front bench to vote against the Iraq conflict, said recent events in Iraq illustrated the consequences of intervention.

‘One of the dangers of invading Iraq is that we underestimated the religious tensions and the resources needed to leave robust structures in place when the West left. A weakened Iraq was always going to be more susceptible to extremism,’ he said.

‘Other examples include Libya, and possibly Afghanistan. In Libya, a weak central Government has been unable to establish its authority over militias. In Afghanistan, Western confidence that the Afghan security forces will be able to hold the line surely needs re-evaluating after these events.”

‘All in all, such developments once again bring into question the wisdom of our recent interventions.’
